I however don't have much luck with warriors for tanking, usually it's Shamans and then I can Frostbolt right from the begining (shock+rockbitter ftw). I didn't overaggro lvl 44 shaman yesterday (we did ogres in Feralas) and I began casting 1 second after he began casting lightning bolt.

I wonder if Shaman can hold aggro on a single target better than a warrior, using Earthshock and Rockbiter. It's doubtful that we do more damage, but Eartshock and Rockbiter cause a massive amount of hate (enough to keep a target on me when I was tanking dragonkin for a rogue 4 levels higher than me who was utterly unloading). Will have to test this out sometime...
Warriors are definitely superior at holding the attention (and taking the blows) from multiple targets.
